KTXS shat a story out on to their website tonight that is making my blood boil. As far as I can tell they went into the story with "Actually food isn't any worse off today than it was previously" as the intended message and just sought out anything that could support that statement.
Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.
Cameron 🇺🇸🗽🦅@cameroncorduroy.bsky.social · yesterdayanytime people raise concerns about land use for solar projects or anything like that i just want to point out that half the corn we grow in this country gets used to make gasoline slightly worse

Start your week with some great news. The culling of innocent people from their jobs and livelihoods who made remarks following Charlie Kirk's death that were either benign or/and legally protected is finally getting rectified. No one is more deserving of that than @karenattiah.bsky.social!
Karen Attiah@karenattiah.bsky.social · 19h agoBREAKING: After the Washington Post fired me last year for speaking the truth in the wake of the Charlie Kirk killing, I fought back. And I'm happy to announce: I won my case against the Washington Post. They have been ordered to reinstate me immediately. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/24/b...

Romney owes Trump a debt of gratitude for overshadowing that his campaign was two things: 1. Torment Latinos until they deport themselves. 2. Lies, lies, lies, lies. Insulting lies, stupid lies, lies of naked contempt for residents of reality, a record-setting mass of lies, with extra lies on top.
Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social · 3d agoA question that some people in media asked me as a thought experiment was: would u have traded Obama losing to Romney in 2012 in exchange for trump never being president and part of my answer is: it’s the same political party

Lara Korte, who was just fired from Stars & Stripes, has been covering the relocation of personnel from Bahrain for months and did a great piece today on 1,300 Navy family members displaced from Bahrain who are stuck in limbo given the damage to the Bahrain base. www.stripes.com/branches/nav...
Navy families evacuated from Bahrain face ‘uncharted territory’ amid bureaucratic confusion
The evacuation has left families in limbo and forced military officials to improvise solutions for support programs.

Although he is a machine, he easily passes any known test of consciousness or personhood that doesn’t include knowing in advance that he is a machine. He is capable of suffering and sadness.
Oh it's incomplete? So you suck at the responsibility part AND the actually turning in something on time. Fuck outta here with that bullshit.
